rear shock adjust

[CANUSASwede]

09 GS, 13K miles

have successfully adjusted front shocks. it's the rear I am curious about. just finished getting tire changes completed this past weekend, thought would be easier access to adjust whilst rear wheel was off. was not the case. HELP!

Anyone? Bueller???

3/8" ratchet head fits to those square holes, adjustment can be done by twisting the plate either way. When the wheel is in place the easiest access is from below with extension. I would recommend jacking your Spyder up when adjusting, a bit lighter that way.

Thank you for clearing that up. The manual is not very clear (at least not to me) that you simply use the ratchet extension end directly into the square holes on the adjuster plate. I was wondering how in the heck to get the tool used on the front shocks onto the ring on the rear shocks. Cheers!
